The Mifos Initiative is looking forward to participating in Google Summer of Code in 2014. Final acceptance of mentoring organizations will announced on February 21, 2014. We have participated in Google Summer of Code for three different years now, most recently graduating four summer of code interns in the 2013 program. See below for brief info on our interns from last year - this year we hope to bring on 4-6 interns.
We documented their amazing journey in several posts to our blog:
